Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix NULL deref in ntfs_update_mftmirr
If ntfs_fill_super() wasn't called then sbi->sb will be equal to NULL. Code should check this ptr before dereferencing. Syzbot hit this issue via passing wrong mount param as can be seen from log below
